( 1 ) THIS is a writ petition in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 1. 3. 97 passed by the respondent No. 2 as well as the order dated 9. 7. 97 by the respondent No. 1.

( 2 ) A prayer has also been made to issue writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to accept the court fees paid in respect of the reliefs claimed in the suit is sufficient.

( 3 ) IT appears that the plaintiff/petitioner filed suit in the lower court alleging that he is owner of the suit property and the impugned sale deed is a fake document and it has no effect upon his rights. He paid court fee of Rs. 290 according to Article 17 of Schedule 2. The trial court rejected the plaint holding that the court fee should be paid under Section 7 (iv-A ). The matter was taken to lower appellate court where too it met the same fate. 4. I have heard Mr. M. A. Siddiqui, learned counsel for the petitioner. He has raised the following submissions : firstly, he submitted that the plaintiff/petitioner has claimed only declaration and nothing more or less. He further submitted that the view of lower courts is wrong. He has invited my attention to Smt. Shefali Roy v. Hero Jaswant
